Quick Read
Former Team India cricketer Amit Mishra feels that stalwarts Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma should be included in the squad for the ODI World Cup 2027. He said that there are no players who can handle pressure better than them, and the duo will also be the correct choice to teach the youngsters about the same.
"They should be in the team. They have performed well for so many years. Wins and runs could go up and down a bit through the bilateral series cycle, but in big tournaments, you will need these big players. They know how to handle pressure; they can apply pressure to other teams as well. Nobody can handle pressure as well as they can, and nobody is better suited to teach the same to youngsters," he said while speaking to ANI.
